SMaiMiM STAUNTON, VA. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1863. OBITUARIES. Finding that protestations against long Obituaries are of no avail, and not having space to publish them, exoept to the exclusion of news matter, we feel constrained to the example of our contemporaries, who publish them at advertising rates. The usual notices of deaths will be published, as heretofore, free of charge, but Obituaries and Tributes of Respect will be charged foi at the rates of ten cents per line.

Glorious News. We have no space to comment upon the glorious news from all quarters, and fortunately the news is such as bespeaks its own importance. This time last yeaT all was gloom all is bright with hope For the news, we refer our readers to the telegraphic column. We will soon take our place among the free and independent nations of the world, and will nave the glory of having accom plished our independence without assistance of any other earthly Power Concerning the Valley. We understand that Gen.

Milroy has only 4,000 men at Winchester and pieces of artillery, whereas we have in the $,000 men aud 11 pieces of artillery, yet the enemy are allowed to remain unmolested, whilst they are practising the worst possible barbarities upon the people and destroying their property at their fiendish pleasure. Gen. Jones is no doubt a gentleman and a brave man, yet he does not effect much in the way of protecting the people of the lower part of the alley against the depredations of the enemy. Having no personal acquaintance with him, and ndging only from his conduct as Commanding officer we infer that he is a modest man, diffident of his capacity to devise and execute successful campaigns. What we need in the Valley is an able, active and brave commanding officer, who combines the capacity to plan with the energy to execute.

We learn that the enemy in Winchester are tearing down all the untenanted houses to make fuel of them, and by way of illustrating their professions of kindness to the colored people, destroyed their ehwrch. The Southern people build churches for the colored population, and the Yankees destroy The Yankees pretend to be their friends, whilst they are really the only enemies they have. They are now trying to persuade the slaves to take up arms, when they know that every one, caught with arms in his hands, will certainly be hanged. They have no more love for the slave than the monkey had for the cat whose paw he used to scrape the roasted chesnuts from the hot embers. Yankees in the Mud.

When wo went to press last week, Burnside had started his grand army on the march to cross the Rappahannock again, and we expected that before this time another great battle would have been fought and another glorious victory won. But behold he did not get quite to the rains descended, the mud increased, and his army stuck fast. We doubt if there were ever before so many men so glad to stick in mud, as they preferred vastly being in the mud, on the North side of the river, "alive and kicking" to becoming ghastly corpses on the South side. The elements have proclaimed a truce for some time, as it is probable that the roads will be in such a condition as to prevent the possibility of moving artillery and baggage trains for a month or more. We suppose that their great army which is threatening North Carolina is also stuck in the mud.

If we were not so well prepared to welcome the Yankees witli hands to hospitable graves," we would recognize the mud as an efficient ally but we believe that we can whip the enemy without the assistance of any earthly ally. Our faith is in Providence, the skill of our officers, and the heroism of our soldiers. From Imboden's Command. Week before last, Capt. Taylor company of Col.

Geo. W. Imboden's cavalry regiment, captured, on tbe North Fork in Pendleton county, Capt. Sites and nine ot his men. They are a part of a Union Home Guard, who employ most of their time in stealing horses and fiving information to the enemy.

Lt. Bine, of Capt. Frank Imboden's company, (EL) with fifteen men, made a capture (in Hampshire county, inside the enemy's lines) of sixteen horses, six wao-ous, five prisoners and two bags of Ywfckoo mall, on the road from Komney to Greenspring Depot. Lt. Blue escaped with twelve horses and three prisoners, though pursued by a considerable cavalry force, and about two thousand infantry.

The mail was conveyed to a safe point, but has not yet been brought through the lines. Lt. Monroe, during his scout, killed one Yankee Captain, wounded another, and killed and wounded five privates. Blockeke Opened. The Secretary of State has notified the British and French Consuls, that he has received official information of the opening of ihe blockade off Charleston.

We also learn that a steamer was despatched to Nassau, from Charleston, convoying to ihe British authorities there the same announcement. It is understoood that the blockade having been opened, and official notice given of the fact, it cannot be renewed by tbe enemy until sixty days previous notice has been given to neutral maritime governments. We have now two open ports S. and Galveston, Texas. to be Attacked Again.

Vicksburg is again to be assailed by a large force! Grant's and McClernand's armies and Porter's gunboat and mortar fleet are to move against the place together. The expedition lias started on rts destination. Col. J. D.

Imboden has been commissioned a Brigadier General. He is a brave and energetic officer. Encouraging Signs. "Coming events cast their shadows before," and the people of the North are" beginning to realize the dread fact that they are resting under the penumbra of swift "coming events," which portend the of all their dire purposes against the South. They begin to see the sure evidences of a civil war in their own midst, if they persist in waging their diabolical warfare upon the South.

They heaWh the West the first in titterings ot a storm, which will sweep the war party from power, or drown it in the blood shed in fratricidal If Lincoln be wise, he will haul in his sails if doomed, as we believe he is, to destruction, ho will bid defiauce to the coming storm, and will be ignominiously buried beneath the surges of popular 'wrath. Horace Greely, the whitecoated philosopher of the New York Tribune, though blinded by abolitionism, is yet see that there is a terrible storinappToaching. In a speech recently delivered at the Cooper Institute, New York, he said: "i think we have more danger to-day from conspiracies against the Union in the Free States than in the Slave; I think the danger is greater from these fecent issue of his paper, the ork Tribune," Greely says the West wo hear of schemes designdenperato and ig to fresh ruptures and the final ov: the Republic. Wicked men, even at are beginning openly and shamelessly ith disunion, and propose, since disas come into fashion, to multiply the fragments ot our institutions. All this is terrible.

We cm better afford to lose fifty fights than thus to weaken the morality of our cause. We can better afford to submit to invasion than thus to make disintegration familiar to our constituencies. We can better afford to let the slaveliolding soldier bivouac in the Capitol than to be betrayed into negotiations which are full of danger, or to dally with compromises which, with their adoption, must precipitate us into unmitigated anarchy. Already we begin to hear of Western Confederacies, of Middle States tnnsmognfied into Middle Confederacies. Already we have hints of new and tempting combinations, aiming at safe and convenient boundaries and the monopoly of internal navigation." These fears of our enemies are not groundless, and we have reason to au-0 i ii A Diabolical Campaign Horace Greely, editor of the New York Tribune, despairing of the South in a fair contest though the)' have a million of armed men in the by his Satanic Majesty, whose obedient servaut he is, proposes the following plau of campaign, by which, he expresses the belief, the Rebellion will be crushed in ninety days, or never: Ist.

"Uorrow temporarily, on the best possible terms, thiee or tour hundred millions, to be paid in at the rate of five millions per day, with a clear understanding that we are to borrow no the war is to be finished with this amount, and that speedily. 2d. "Call out the uniformed militia of the loyal States for three months, and employ them to garrison Washington, Baltimore, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, and to hold the line ofthe fotomac and tbe Baltimore and Ohio Kail'oad, while every soldier now in the service is sent to the front aud employed in the active work of the campaign. 3d.

"Having thus massed our forces and filled our depots and caissons, charge upon the rebels in every their ports wiih iton-clads, their armies with stronger armies, fighting resolutely but warily with intent to capture ttieir strongholds and exhaust their expeditions of lightarmed black Unionists, carrying only arms and ammunition, traverse those portions of rebeldom most exposed and thickly peopled with slaves, carrying lib erty to all who wish and arms wheiewith to defend it, moving rapidly and evading all fortified points and overpowering foioes, while breakiug up railroads and telegraph lines, and making trouble generally." After making this last desperate and diabolical effort, if they fail, they are ready to make peace. Greeley three months more of earnest fighting shall not serve to make a serious impression on the theend of that term shall find us no further advanced than its beginning malignant fate has ue creed that the olood and treasure of the nation shall ever be squandered in fruitless efiorts let us low to our destiny and make the best attainable peace." Ot European intervention, which the Yankees now in their hearts desire, Greely says "If the great powers of Europe shall see fit to interpose, treat them with pohiecess and distinguished consideration. We cannot be required to arrest the war uniii we shall have substantially agreed on the conditions of peace; we cannot be expected to consider any proposals of mediation until they shall have first been accepted by the rebels. It will thus be May or thtrf-ibout tejoi we can be fairly asked to say yts or no to any interposition." This hell-bom plan of campaign may be adopted by the enemy, lor the more wicked it be, the more it recommends itself to them Jaui a righteous retribution will overtake all who shall be voluntary participants in it.

The short time be has directed your movemenfs has not been fruitful of victory or any considerable advancement of our lines, but it has again demonstrated an amount of courage, patience and endurance that, under more favorable circumstances, would have accomplished gre results.

The next day Clark, of New Hampshire, offered a resolution for his expulsion, which lies over. The Yankee loss in the battle of Murfreesboro' jg thus summed up: Killed, wounded, and 10,257.

H. H. Stua.t. We published as an advertisement, and, we believe, all the papers in the State were requested to copy, an article purporting to be From the Rockingham Register, covering the proceedings of a Court of Inquiry. The uftect of that publication was to exhibit Mr.

Stuart as a secret, anonymous and false accuser of an honest public functionary. The following letter from Colo net Baldwin gives the facts of the case, ana presents Mr. Stuart in a light in which no gentleman and patriot need be ashaned to appear. We know nothing of Colonel Harman's official conduct, and the Court of Inquiry testifies with funoess and swift-footedness to his perfect its judgment we have no disposition to call in question. But when public officers on limited salaries, in very short periods, annus unlimited fortunes fact will excite surprise and comment.

Everything may be wealth may be the legitimate reward of Quartermasters and Commissaries of an impoverished Government, We know nothing to the contrary. The very unusual notoriety sought to be given to this publication, by its insertion in every paper in the State, would seem to mean something that does not meet the eve, but what it is we don't know.

As you are personally cognizant of all the circumstances having any relation to my connection with the imputation upon Col. M.

G. Harman, I will be obliged it wdlgivea brief statement of them for publication in the Examiner. Very respectfully, youra, Alex. H. 11.

Stuabt. House of Representatives, January 24, Hon. AUx. H. H.

Stuart Sib I have received yours of the 22d instant, and have also seen the publication to which you refer. The idea that you made an anonymous attack upon Col. M. G. Harman is simply absurd, or that you assailed him at all.

At the last session of Congress you sent me a private letter, in which you Suggested the appointment of a Congressional committee to overhaul the Quartermaster and Commissary Departments of the army. Iv support of your suggestion you refer to a number of rumors affecting the administration of those departments in our community, and express theopin ion that au investigation ought to be had, and the parties implicated either acquited or punished. You did net mention the name of any officer in connection with the rumors referred to, and you expressly stated that you had no personal knowledge of the truth of any of the charges. In a conversation with the Quartermaster General on the subject, I mentioned your views to him, and showed him your letter, lie asked me to leave the letter with him. I told him I had no authority to make any such use of it, as you had no personal knowledge of tho matters mentioned by you, it would not be proper to use your name in connection with them.

Colonel Myers then asked me to give him an extract containing a statement of the'kmd of rumors prevailing in our community, and stated that he wished to use it in a way which would make it unnecessary to use your name. With that understanding, I addressed him a note ooutaining the extract desired. I was greatly surprised, after returning to Staunton, to find that Col. Myers had felt himself at liberty to send a copy of my note to each one of the numerous Quartermasters in our community. I was at once called upon for the name of my correspondent, and by your direction I referred ihem to you.

A correspondence between you and Col. M. G. Harman disclosed the fact that aithough you had not named him your letter, he was, by rumor, implicated in some of the transactions referred to by you, and the consequence was that a Court of Inquiry was convened to investigate his transactions. I happened to ow nat hen called upon to appear before the Court ot rv referred them to the correspondence to show You had from the beginning disclaimed any personal Knowledge on the subject, and you were "Ot examined as a This was, so far as 1 know, your wi.d connection with the matter.

E- R- VEITCH. Feb TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. At a meeting of tbe pupils of the Wesleyan Female Institute, occasioned by the death of one of their number, JANIE TIFFING, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whbbbas, God, in his inscrutable, yet, no doubt, wise Providence, has seen fit to take from us one of our beloved school-mates, Rtsolved, That in the death of Janib Tipping we have been deprived ofthe society of one whose studious habits, correct deportment, am'able disposition and child-like simplicity, had greatly endeared her to our hearts; and that, while we bow submissively to this sudden and afflictive strofte of Providence, we nevertheless feel that we have sustained a loss which eternity can only reuav. Resolved, That we most deeply sympathize with tbe friends and relatives of the deceased the father and sisters, in being thus suddenly bereft of oue so lovely trusting, at the same time, that God may sustain and enable them, by His grace, in the midst of tears and sorrows, to rejoice in hope. Resolved, That we, her school-mates, wear a badge of mourning for the space of thirty days.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the bereaved family LIZZIE V. KUNKLE, President. Josie Hums, Secretary. Tribute of Respect. Among the many gallant defenders of Southern homes who sealed their patriotism with their blood on the hard fought battle-field of Fort-Republic, June 9th, 1862, there fell not a more gallant soldier or nobler spirited youth than the subject of this brief Corporal JOtiN DOOM, a member of the West Augusta Guard, sth regiment Va Volunteers.

On the 17th day of April, 18tjl, Virginia called upon her sons to go forth in battle array to defend her againstthe invasion of armed hostsof the North. Young Doom was among the number who did not listen to a call in vain from that mother when the homes and hearth-stones of her children were threatened with waste by an insolent and unscrupulous enemy. parted assunder those endearing ties which bound him to a happy home and a circle of loving friends, and went where duty called and his own high spirit prompted, to aid in his country's defence. Since the time of his entrance upon the arduous and trying scenes of a soldier 8 life, the writer of this simple tribute to his memory has been his constant asso oiate and companion, and he now offers his living testimony (as do all his surviving companions-in-arms; to his undaunted courage in time of danger his unswerving patriotism, moral character, and the disinterested and generous feelings of kindness and friendship which ever characterized his actions toward his friends and fellow-men. Pessessed of those noble qualities of mind and heart which inspire respect and strengthen friendship, and with fixed social qualities, he was a favorite of his entire It may be said of him, truly, that he had no enemies sare those of his country.

'Tis sad to chronicle the death of one in whom we feel even a slight interest; but when one so young, so hopeful and cherished as he, is out down in the early bloom of young manhood, then sad indeed is the heart's record in the performance of its sorrowful task. Poor Jack how well wo all loved you Sadly we mi3s you when in the evening's shade we gather around the camp-fire and speak of your virtues and lament your fate How good a goldier! how true a friend! what a dutiful son and affectionate brother has the cruel hand of war snatched from the embrace and hopes of loving friends. yet again we hope to meet thee where the shock of arms and the din of war fall not upon the ear. In the better world above where Peace eternal reigns may we meet again! Wbst Augusta Guabd. Camp sth Reg't Va.

The deceased was a native of Ireland. He was born near Londonderry, in 1792, but at the age of 12 years accompanied his father and family in their removal to America. His father having settled in Augusta oounty, Va he thus early became identified with this county, which was to be heuceforth his home. In the war of 1812, as he was just reaching manhood, he exhibited his patriotic devotion to tne country of his adoption by entering, as a volunteer, into the ranks of the army which was at that time operating on the Virginia sea-coast. He attached himself to the company of Captain Coles, as a private; but his fellowsoldiers soon learned to know and appreciate his merits, and promptly elected him to be one of their officers, in which capacity he served until the close of the war.

Upon his return home he established himself in the mercantile business in the town of Waynesboro', where he continued to live for many years. Having purchase the farm and homestead of Glen Home, he removed thither and there resided until his death About the year 1830, he was chosen one of the Justices of the County Court of Augusta, in which office he continued to serve during life and, for the three years acted in the capacity of Presiding Justice. He had long been a professor of the religion of Christ, and a member of the Presbyterian Church for almost a generation past his membership has been with the Old Augusta Church, and during that time he has constantly exemplified the great doctrines of the Gospel in all his "walk and conversation." His Christian example will long live in the hearts and memories of his survivors, to influence and to speak though he be dead. In his death, therefore, the Church mourns the loss of one of its oldest and most valued members community mourns the loss of one who, in every capacity and secured the confidence and esteem of County mourns the loss of one of its most useful and valued his family mourn a loss which thty can only appreciate, and which in this life is irreparable. In his death, however, we have the consolatory conviction that this event which is to us the occasion of loss and sorrow) is to him the occasion of unspeakable gain and endless joy therefore "we sorrow not even as others which have no lst 4 13.

How cheering to the war-worn soldier is such testimonials of remembrance at home, none can tell, none can ar predate, but those who have experienced tbe life of the camp.

Be assured, dear ladies, that the retiectiou of your goodness will nerve the arm of many a gallant man to do battle to death in defence of this great cause and tbe dear ones at home.

But nobler far, than she, are the women of our own birthland, who will leave their names to other times, as ministering angels, born to preserve and not to destroy. The influence of woman has ever been worthy of commemoration in every great struggle of modern times, but, never will there be found in history's great or epoch so replete with individual instances of self-sacrifice, heroism and general devotion to the cause of liberty and truth, such as the matron and maid of this young Republic have so lavishly furnished.
